The Art of Thinking Clearly | 
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a book! This is such a helpful collection of fallacies we face on a daily basis. The author does a great job of providing brief descriptions and examples of each fallacy making learning them a cinch. Highly recommend if you want to understand improved thinking.

pickI‘ve been intrigued by the way people think since I was a teenager. I made a professional career out of dissecting people‘s faulty thinking and teaching them how to challenge those irrational thoughts. I‘m always interested in learning more thinking errors for my own growth as well as the population I serve. Dobelli examines the cognitive biases we engage on a daily basis. I can definitely see how a physical copy of this book would be helpful.
So excited this #nonfiction book came in the mail today!

pickAnother one in 2019, I'm re-reading! There are some books, I can't get enough of and this book is one of them :)
Do you re-read your fav book? How often?
pickWhen I picked this up I expected the book itself to be boring, but informational. While it was the latter, it also read extremely easy as Dobelli made his points with anecdotal stories that were often funny and extremely relatable. This book can be useful to everyone from all walks of life. Whether you want to be persuasive, or to recognize when you‘re being manipulated, or manipulating yourself! I like it so much I made my mother read it.
Woke up with a tension headache, had to put my car in the shop because engine light came on, so I called in sick and spending my day watching Netflix and reading.... I am feeling better already.... at least until the mechanic calls😅😅😅
Teachers, be careful not to fall for the “anchor” effect.
Base-rate neglect - this is a great book!!! I think a lot of people could benefit from reading this.
Don‘t be sucked into groupthink! I am often the devils advocate.
This book has 99 short chapters explaining different flaws in our thinking. There are many bias‘. He provides concrete examples and advice on how to avoid these biases. I guilty of not thinking clearly!!
Taking a break from Unfinished Business to read some of this book. I am always reading multiple books. This is a valid point!!!
pickThe beauty of the book is the simplicity. The arguments being served across are such that you have the moment “Amazing this is one way to look at this” and I can vouch you will have many such moments. The book uses simple and amazing examples from our life and changes the perspective for things for forever.

bailedMaybe this would have been better in print..??... but I had to bail on this #audiobook. Bored. I think it may have been a lost cause for me right off the bat when the intro suggested this was for overconfident decision-makers (Not I!) and something about trying to be happier is like trying to be taller, happy people are just born that way. So what about anyone else?!? Certainly some good points, but often the examples just didn‘t resonate for me.
#TBRtemptation post 5! This is an eye-opening look at human reasoning and essential for anyone with big decisions to make. Discover your (our) cognitive biases and learn how to avoid making them worth steady practice. 99 short chapters about 99 common errors of judgment and how to avoid them. A highly praised book! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
pickExcellent for a clearly thinking way and help us to avoid bias as much as we could.
pickTR: The Art of Thinking Clearly exposes 99 cognitive biases – simple errors all of us make in our everyday thinking – and shows us how to become rational thinkers.
No matter how much you know, you‘re always going to be biased in your thinking.
